I thank Dr. Finnerty. I appreciate that. A lot of this stuff seems to be down to resources. Mr. Farrelly was confident the resources would be supplied. I am concerned about the appointment of the authorised officers. That needs to be looked at. It needs to begin now and should have begun already. There has been talk that the process has begun but I do not think there has been any addition to the staff. I might be wrong on that.

On resources for transferring prisoners from conditions in the general prison population that do not meet their needs into the Central Mental Hospital, there seems to be an issue. Does Mr. Farrelly think we will have adequate resources going forward in relation to the heads of Bill?
